The Philadelphia Phillies hitters hammered Pirates pitching to the tune of .319 batting average and 6 homeruns in the 4 game series. They scored 28 runs also. Mike Schmidt was the hitting star as he went 9 for 16 with 4 homeruns and 9 RBI's. Schmidt looks like he will win KOD2 MVP honors. The Phillies pitching limited the Pirates to just 14 runs in 4 games. Carlton, Lerch, and Espinosa all recorded victories for the Phillies staff. The Pirates were lucky to escape with a victory in game 4 as Kent Tekulve almost blew a 8-5 lead and the Buccos held on for an 8-7 victory. The usually reliable Bucs staff posted a 6.43 ERA. One note in the series was that Greg Luzinski beat out an infield hit. I will have to write to Dave about that one. Thanks to Gary for hosting.-contributed by Frank Aluzzi-
